Flutter Version: 3.13.0
Platform: Flutter web

I'm unable to reproduce the issue. It seem to happen randomly. This is the first time I'd experience the issue directly. Another time was when the same problem happen to my coworker. So far, we've only seen this issue on Flutter web.

The only way I know to fix this problem is:

• run this command dart pub cache clean
• then run the app
• then either check or uncheck the Uncaught Exception in VSCode debugger
• then hard reset the app
  This seems to reset the initialize function when setting the Google Place API key.

To conclude, I applied the fix mentioned and the package is working again.

@huesmiles49 it sounds like flutter dependencies/caching issues.

But either way glad to hear it's working again!

My other attempt to initialize the package doesn't work either. Code:

final places = FlutterGooglePlacesSdk.platform;
    places.initialize(FlavorConfig().googlePlacesApiKey);
    FindAutocompletePredictionsResponse res =
        await places.findAutocompletePredictions(_searchText);
    setState(() {
      _predictions = res.predictions;
    });

@huesmiles49 Looks like something is wrong with the dependencies. Take a look at the example in this project and use it.

If you still have issue, please create a small reproducible example that we can work.
